Chapter 318 Yang Yi Enters Beijing(1/2)

When news of Yelu Deguang's death came, everyone in Yanjing was praised for their celebration. Khitan was the great enemy of the Central Plains. Now that the enemy chief is dead, the whole country is naturally celebrating.

A few days later, Yang Yi from Dingliao sent a letter to the Privy Council, suggesting that the central government must strictly guard against the Khitan.

Since Yang Yi was injured, he has been in charge of the government for a long time. The north of Modi divided the two divisions. The military power in the east was Shijian, and the western military power in Shiba. The defense on the front line of Wuzhou was half returned to Chai Rong and half returned to Yelu Antuan. Both of them belonged to Zhili of Yanjing. After Yang Yi's injuries gradually recovered, the martial arts scholar Ding Hanshan once suggested that he be in charge of the army again. Feng Dao, the Grand Secretary at that time, believed that Yang Yi's health had not fully recovered and would still be better to continue to recuperate. Therefore, as a general, Yang Yi had no military power and was unemployed in Dingliao until now.

Yang Yi’s suggestion was not a top secret, so Cao Yuanzhong came out to discuss the matter.

According to the system, the big endorsement has the right to be secretly secreted with everything. However, in the past, Yang Dingguo spent most of his thoughts on civil matters. Zhang Mai and the State Council did not invite him, so he pretended not to know. Feng Dao's performance was more active after taking over. After hearing this, he asked that the Military Council, one of the twenty-four chambers, be held to participate in the matter.

Zheng Wei was quite disgusted with this and refused Feng Dao's request on the spot.

Although the corrections and commentators have the establishment of a military hall, it is completely different from the Privy Council in terms of function. Its main functions are three: the first is to discuss issues related to military system construction and form a braking motion; the second is to supervise the current situation of the military system and form a reform motion; the third is to supervise the military supervision system legal cadres. If the tendency of the military cadres is deviated, the military cadres have the right to intervene in order to prevent the corruption of the legal cadres themselves.

The above three items are all at the system level, so the five censors in the Military Conference elected one from the grassroots, middle-level, high-level and military families in the military. In addition, a non-military personnel, these people are very representative of the morale of the military, but are not wise, brave or famous generals in the military. Yang Yi’s suggestion is an execution level. Zheng Wei’s mind and logic is very clear. He was quite strong in the face of Feng Dao, so he refused to participate in the commentary. He only asked the Privy Council, the Government Council and the Hanlin Academy to hold a court discussion. However, out of respect for the great endorsement, Feng Dao was invited to listen.

As a result of the court discussion, Ding Hanshan, a martial arts scholar of the Hanlin Academy, expressed his support as long as it was Yang Yi's suggestion, but several governors of the State Council all felt that Yang Yi was too sensitive.

The Liao people would install spies in Yanjing, and the Tang army would naturally arrange detailed works in Tokyo. The senior officials in Yanjing knew about what happened in Liaoyang Prefecture recently. Fan Zhi and Li Zhuo all believed that with the current situation in the Khitan, if Yelu Deguang died, the Liao Kingdom would probably cause civil unrest. In such a situation, as the saying goes, there is no time to take care of himself, so how can he invade the west? Zhang Yi maintained neutrality on the grounds that he had no military expertise.

Even in the Privy Council, Lu Jialing also felt that Yang Yi's argument seemed to be unreasonable. Cao Yuanzhong had been in the army for a long time and vaguely felt that Yang Yi's motion seemed unreasonable, but there was an intuitive prediction of the enemy's situation. However, he was still the same as Zhang Yi. He deliberately maintained a neutral opinion.

Ding Hanshan had a weak voice in the entire court discussion, and the final result of his discussion was that he did not accept Yang Yi's judgment, but as respect for General Yang, he still ordered Wu, Luan, Jin and Deng to strengthen border defenses in a routine manner.

When the court was about to end, Feng Dao put forward an opinion, believing that Yelu Deguang was the emperor of a country. Although Tang and Liao were enemies of each other, they should send envoys to greet each other and send envoys to see the truth and reality of the Khitan. Everyone felt that this was also the case, and then discussed the etiquette of the envoys.

As a result, before I knew it, the court agreed to make a mistake this time.

After Guo Fen received the result of the court's discussion, he thought to himself: "Since Brother Yi has made an move to prevent Liao, he will definitely not be aimless. It's just that this is everyone's decision. I don't have a legitimate reason to overturn it. Alas, I have a half-understanding of these military matters, but no one can ask at this time!"

Logically speaking, the Hanlin Academy should appear at this time in order to prepare for the emperor's question, but Ding Hanshan, the martial arts scholar in the Hanlin Academy, seemed to be unbearable. There were many brave generals in the Tang army in Tiance, and there were many famous generals, but they were all distributed around the borders, and there was not a single one in the capital! So he wrote this trouble into a letter and sent it to Kucha in a hurry for 600 miles. At the same time, the result of the court discussion was returned to Yang Yi.

After Yang Yi received the opinion, he invited him to Beijing to discuss the matter.

He is a general-level person, both a soldier and politically important. If the general wants to enter Beijing, he not only needs the emperor to agree, but also the Privy Council agrees, but also the corrections and supervision stations are alarmed. Feng Dao first objected. Although Wei Renpu of the Supervision Station has been resigned, he also has objections to this. Everyone has very polite reasons for the explicit reason, which is that Yang Yi has worked hard for the country to fight. Now that he is sick, he should rest and not work hard. But in the end he will mention a sentence that General Yang wants to return to Beijing, and it is best to wait for the Marshal to come back to the Western Tour.

Guo Fenzheng was worried that no one could ask about military affairs. He was happy to hear that Yang Yi was going to come back, but seeing the reactions of all parties were surprisingly great, he couldn't help but complain to his daughter: "Why do we work hard for the country to fight, what should we rest and not work? Do I not know what they are worried about?"

The civil officials were too sensitive to things, so no one said it even in the top secret memorial. Zhang Yunzhao had no taboos and pouted and said, "Isn't it just that I'm afraid that my father will be gone and Uncle Yi will rebel!"

Li Fang next to him was shocked and said, "Princess, don't talk nonsense! If this is passed, it will be a big deal!"

Zhang Yunzhao smiled and said, "If you dare to think about it, don't let me say it! But that's true. With Uncle Yi's prestige, I really want to raise my arms and make a clear head. No one in Yanyun, Hebei can stop him."

Li Fang's face changed drastically, and he knelt down to Guo Fen and said, "The princess is rude, please sue her!"

Guo Fen saw Li Fang reacting so loudly, and understood why he was like this, but he felt that Li Fang was a little bit of a big deal, but what he said was not completely unreasonable, so he blamed Zhang Yunzhao and said, "Don't talk nonsense about national affairs."

Zhang Yunzhao stuck out her tongue and made another grimace.

Li Fang was very dissatisfied when he saw Guo Fen letting go like this, but he had no choice.

In fact, this matter was not overreacted by Feng Dao, Li Fang and others. After the middle Tang Dynasty, warlords abusive power. Warlords forced generals and generals to force kings to emerge one after another. Everyone said that they had no one to believe in their hearts, so as long as those who owned the army were afraid of it. Although Yang Yi did not own the army now, with his prestige in the army. As Zhang Yunzhao said, no one could stop him from rebelling when Zhang Mai was not there. Since he had the ability to rebel, he should be strictly guarded against it regardless of whether he had the intention to rebel or not. This was the first reaction in Feng Dao and others. To be fair, Feng Dao and Li Fang and others thought so, the first point was for the country, the second was for the royal family, and not necessarily for themselves.

But Guo Fen had not experienced the various political pains that Feng Dao and others had experienced, and his mind was relatively bright. Since he believed that Yang Yi could not rebel, he felt that Feng Dao and Li Fang had made a big fuss.

Although Yang Yi was in Dingliao, the suspicion of Yanjing's side of him was still coming to his face. Both requests were rejected. No matter how positive his original ambition was, his heart was a little sad. He couldn't help but curse: "I, Yang Yi, are just for the country, and these corrupt scholars are thinking about something!" But thinking about the difficulty of starting a business in this country. Thinking about the hard-won situation, I really didn't want any mistakes. So I suppressed my anger and asked Guo Fen that Dingliao was bitter and cold, hoping to recuperate in Miyun, with a beautiful environment.

Even Guo Fen understood that it was just an excuse and thought to himself: "Looking at Brother Yi's requests several times, I was probably afraid that something big would happen. He had to respond nearby." Then he thought it right.

Li Fang was the secretary, and he had to take action on his hands. He opposed it on the spot when he heard it and said, "Miyun is near the capital of Jingji, and he came to Miyun. What is the difference between coming to Yanjing?"

Guo Fen said angrily: "It's not General Yang who is coming to Yanjing to discuss military affairs, it's my brother Yang Yi who is coming to Miyun for recuperation! This is a private matter, not a public matter, so you need approval from this kid! You are just a small secretary, not a parent of my three families in Zhang, Guo and Yang!"

Li Fang knelt down and said, "I don't know who Brother Yang Yi is! I only know that Yang Yi is the general! General Yang's every move is related to the national system! Although the empress exercises power on behalf of the emperor, she cannot make trouble! This matter has not been approved by the court. I have to draft the documents issued by General Xu Yang unless I kill me!"

"You!" Guo Fen was furious and picked up the imperial seal and was about to smash it on Li Fang's head. He only reluctantly held it back before taking action and sneered: "Forget it! If I really hit you, I will become the foolish heroine in the mouth of your Confucian scholars! The court discussion will be held, and this court discussion will be held!"

She went down the west mountain that day and went straight to Youzhou. She held a court meeting with the emperor. The Hanlin Academy of the State Council’s Privy Council’s Hanlin Academy’s correctional and supervision stations have arrived. This time, Guo Fen was the chief and sneered at the beginning: “Dingliao is broken and cannot bear the sanitation of General Yang Yi. He begged to go to Miyun to recuperate. I promise! Who would object!”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while. No one was present except Ding Hanshan. Among them, Feng Dao, Fan Zhi and Li Zhuo frowned the most!

Fan Zhijiu was in Liangzhou and knew that Guo Fen had a strong personality. When he saw her expression, he knew that a strong resistance would definitely not be good. Feng Dao was square inside and round outside, and since he was round outside, he would not disobey the people without looking at the occasion. Only Li Zhuo stood up on the spot and said, "I object!"

Guo Fen glared at him and said, "What if I must agree?"

Li Zhuodao: "The unreasonable king's order is a mess! If the king has a mess, he dare not disagree! The ministers and others dare not disagree!"

Guo Fen sneered: "I know what you are afraid of! I know what you are worried about!"

Li Zhuo said: "Since the Empress knows what I am worried about, she should not raise such things that make the ministers and the country worry."

Guo Fen laughed and said, "Do you think I'm just making trouble? Do you think I'm favoritism?"

Li Zhuo and others did not answer, but the expression on their faces clearly said: Isn’t it?

Guo Fen sneered again and said, "I don't know much about national affairs, but I finally understand some of the hearts of people! You don't believe in Yang Yi's loyalty, you are afraid that Yang Yi will rebel, but have you ever thought about it? Will this person feel good if you suspicious of a person who has never had a bad record? Reject one time, twice, and three times, even a fool will know that you don't trust him! Who are you! You represent the country now! You do this to make Yang Yi feel that this country does not trust him!"

Feng Dao and Fan Zhi looked at each other and thought to themselves that although Guo Fen is a noble position, he is an ignorant woman after all, and he even said such words as "rebellion".

"Yang Yi's rebellion" is something that all ministers in Beijing are afraid of, but it is something that no one dares to say publicly. But at this time, Guo Fen himself exposes it, and the court discussion is almost completely open to the pace of negotiation.

Li Zhuo said: "No one said General Yang would rebel, but the emperor should be more responsible at this time."

"What is duty?" Guo Fen said: "The enemy country has changed. Yang Yi is going to come to Beijing to counsel the military aircraft. Isn't it duty? Well. If you ask him to recuperate well, he feels uncomfortable in Dingliao. Thinking of Miyun, you don't allow him to stop paying his duties as soon as he enters Beijing?"

Li Zhuodao: "The emperor left the capital and the princes obeyed the courtesy. This is the duty! General Quan entered the capital and the country was in turmoil. This is the duty."

Guo Fen laughed and said, "One Yang Yi entered Beijing. The country is in turmoil? Then this country is too light and light. Humph! I don't believe that our country will be so fragile!"

"The ancient saying says: A gentleman is preventing trouble before it happens." Feng Dao saw that the gunpowder smell of both sides became stronger and stronger, and Li Zhuo's face turned red. He was about to say excessive words, so he quickly inserted his mouth and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "We don't think General Yang is unfaithful, it's just a matter of the melon field. It can be avoided, but it's better to avoid it. It's just a matter of preventing the problem."

Guo Fen said: "The word "prevention" has already expressed your distrust of him! Humph, you not only do not trust him, but also you are not confident! You are not confident, so you are afraid of him, you are afraid of him. That is why you are afraid of him!"

Fan Zhi said: "It's right to say that we are afraid. Dong Zhuo rebelled against the people and Zhu Wen replaced the Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, there has been no good news for Quan Zheng to enter the capital. I dare not be afraid!"

Guo Fen said: "Okay, you all have knowledge. I can't compare with you. But I ask you one question: Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are powerful, or Dong Zhuo is powerful? Li Jing and Li Ji are powerful, or Zhu Wen is powerful?"

"This..." Fan Zhi said: "Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen are also traitors, how can they compare with Wei and Huo Erli!"

Guo Fen said: "I am not asking loyal and rioters, I am asking who is great!"

Feng Dao sighed and said, "Wei Huo Erli, a famous general for all ages, Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen, how can you compare?"

Guo Fen said: "Will the Wei and Huo Erli have entered the capital?"

The ministers were speechless, Guo Fen said, "Wei and Huo, have they all entered the capital? Why was the Han and Tang dynasties not in chaos at that time?"

Li Zhuodao: "Wai Huo and the other Li Li were at the time of Emperor Wu of Han, and with the wise and divine martial arts of Emperor Wu of Han, who could cause chaos!"

Guo Fen laughed and said, "That's it! It can be seen that it's not that Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen have any danger. It's that the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty itself are weak and messy first, and then Dong Zhu Wen can make trouble! So now our country is weak and messy?"

"this……"

Guo Fen said: "Our country is now at its peak. In the words of the marshal, it is going uphill. At this time, let alone Yang Yi entering Beijing, what can I do if ten Yang Yi entering Beijing? Are you really blind? Are you really a fool in the army? Do you really think that Yang Yi shouted, and everyone would rebel with him?"

Li Zhuodao: "Although today's national power can ensure that Yang Yi does not rebel, the country cannot guarantee that he will be strong today. If this example is made, it may leave an excuse for those who have ulterior motives in future generations."

Guo Fen said: "Exception...excus! You also know it is an excuse! Since it is an excuse, how can you find it? If a person with ulterior motives wants to do something, are he afraid that he will not be able to find an excuse?"

Li Zhuo shouted: "The Empress's words are sophistry! In short, Yang Yi's entry into Beijing today is not necessary, but has hidden worries. If that's the case, why do you have to make this evil example!"

"It's not me who made the evil example, it's you! It's you!" Guo Fen said: "If Yang Yi wants to come, let him come! This is my trust in him and the trust of the country. If he fails the country, the people in the world will see it, and Yang Yi will also remember it! But if Yang Yi wants to come, you will not let him come, and you will not dare to let him come! This is your suspicion of him, and the distrust of the country in the country! If it is finally proved that Yang Yi has no intention of rebellion, it is the country that lets him down, and the people in the world will see it, and Yang Yi will also remember it!"

Li Zhuodao: "Yang Yi, a minister, is loyal to the country and sincere to the emperor. He is a little wronged and enduring, which is what he should do!"

"The country does not trust him, but wants him to trust the country? Is there such a fucking thing in the world in the swearing words of the marshal?" Guo Fen said: "Do you Confucian Mencius also have an old saying? The king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, the minister treats his ministers like confidants, the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, the minister treats his ministers like passers-by, the king treats his ministers like a gangster. The minister treats his ministers like enemies! Trust is always relative! If the country wants the people to be loyal to the people, then it must at least trust the people! If the country wants the people to make the people patriotism, then it must at least also patriots! Why do you want Yang Yi to be loyal to a country that does not trust him? If the country does not love him, why do you want Yang Yi to be patriotic? In the words of the marshal, if you really become fucked like this, then let someone rebel and destroy it!"

Whether Feng Dao, Fan Zhi, Li Zhuo, Li Fang, all the civil officials looked at each other.

Zheng Wei suddenly laughed and said, "This is reasonable! I agree with this madam's motion! Let Yang Yi come to Miyun for recuperation."

Zhang Yi was in Xiliang for a long time and cooperated with Zheng Wei deeply, and knew Zhang Mai's character well. He knew that Guo Fen's words were indeed Zhang Mai's style. If the marshal was here, he would probably decide this way. He also felt that Yang Yi would not be able to subvert the foundation of the country if he entered Beijing. He also said: "I will discuss it."

Lu Jialing's thoughts were similar to Zhang Yi, and he agreed immediately. Cao Yuanzhong's eyes turned and he also agreed. Although Fan Zhi was a Confucian minister and was heavily influenced by Zhang Mai, he felt that Guo Fen's words were not unreasonable, so he did not fiercely object. Although Feng Dao did not agree in his heart, he did not say anything else.

The Hanlin Academy Supervision Station has no leader, and Li Zhuo is alone and can't support it. Guo Fen's order was finally passed.

Zheng Wei suddenly said: "Yang Yi's entry into Beijing has a huge impact on the Tang and Liao struggle. He can come to Miyun. But he must go south secretly and the matter must be kept secret. Please give a strict order!"

Guo Fen said: "Just as the Prime Minister has discussed, today's affairs will be sealed before they are made public! Whoever leaks it will be killed!"

But as Fan Zhi and others expected, after Yelu Deguang's death, the Liao Kingdom was soon on the verge of internal transformation that was about to break out.

What should I do if the king dies?

According to normal thinking, the prince naturally succeeded to the throne in the original plan of the Southern Sect.

But now the situation has changed! Yelu Lihu, who has never concealed his ambition, became the Grand Marshal of the World and controlled the military power of the entire Liao Dynasty. Who knows what will happen next!

What is even more confusing is that Shuluping, who should have announced the succession of the prince who calmed the people as soon as possible, did not speak for a long time. On the fourth day of his death, Yelu Wuzhi finally couldn't help it. He forced him to ask when Prince Luping would ascend the throne in front of the mourning hall. Shuluping then agreed to hold a court meeting after the first seventh day.

Shuluping said: "Three days later, a court meeting will be held to discuss this matter."

Yelu Wuzhi said: "About? The prince ascended the throne, as long as he had to execute it, what else should he discuss?"

Shuluping's face was dark, Cha Cho shouted, "Enemy chariot, you are becoming more and more presumptuous! The Empress Dowager said that you will discuss the meeting three days later. Are you talking here and you want to force the palace!"

Yelu Wuzhiqiang held back and didn't dare to say anything more.

After Han Yanhui returned home, he hid in a secret room with his son to discuss. Han Deshu said: "Since Li Hu Bingzheng, he has imposed additional taxes on southern Liaoning today and increased taxes on southern Liaoning tomorrow. Liaojin has been forced to destroy his family by national debts! Is the empress dowager confused? He still indulged him like this! Don't you know that if the Liao Dynasty continues like this, it will be necessary to have civil strife?"

Han Yanhui sighed and said, "She is not confused." Seeing that her son seemed puzzled, Han Yanhui said, "You have been in Liaojin for the past two years, so you are not deeply touched by the situation in Liaoyang Prefecture. In recent years, the Han people's life in southern Liaoning has gradually stabilized, and many merchants in Liaojin have become rich. However, the old Khitan in Liaoyang Prefecture sells gold and silver to live, and he feels angry. This is the case in Liaoyang Prefecture, let alone the richer the south side of the river, the more resentful the north side, and the more north side, the more resentful the more resentful the more."

Han Deshu said: "Whether the Han people or the merchants in the south are robbed, this money is not robbed! They are all earned with hard work! The old Khitan refused to farm in coolies and could not do business. This is because the people in the north are incompetent, so how can they blame the south?"
